3/4 Inch Crushed Stone Delivery for Readfield, ME

Maine Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Readfield, ME, and the material this market builds on is Type A gravel. It is the Maine base course, crushed gravel sold by pits and yards under that letter.

Across the Kennebec Valley lowlands, clay under the topsoil holds water while the river terraces beside it drain fast.

That split ground is why grade and underlay matter here before a finished surface ever goes down.

Materials for Readfield Projects

Building pads and raised grade are what drive work here. When a pad or a stretch of grade has to come up, the order starts with fill and sub-base, and the finished surface goes on top later.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill and backfill. Maine plans and yards also call it common borrow, and it is what raises grade under a gravel course.

Bank Run Gravel comes out of the pit as it lies, unprocessed. It is a filler and rough subbase course, not a finished driving surface.

Type A Gravel is the compacted base for drives and parking pads.

3/4" Crushed Stone is washed stone for drainage trenches, drywells and pipe bedding. In Maine it is usually called 3/4 inch washed stone.

Driveway Gravel is the top course on a gravel drive or camp road, and 3/4 inch crushed gravel is the size yards sell for that running surface.

Ground and Conditions in Readfield

This part of the state sits on Presumpscot marine silt and clay that reaches well inland up the river valleys, with sand and gravel terraces and outwash above it. Stony till covers the hills between the valleys.

The practical result is that clay holds water at the surface while the sand and gravel beside it drain fast. Two lots on the same street can behave completely differently through snowmelt.

Spring runoff and ice-out scour work on the rivers and their tributaries, and cut slopes gully where water runs off them. On the clay ground, a base that was never built to carry a load will move once the frost leaves.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of mud season into late fall, a slightly shorter window than the coast, with a slower spring on clay. Inland winters are colder than the coast, and the deep frost, repeated freeze and thaw and mud season soften gravel drives and shoulders.

Footing depth is set by the local building official.
